Chelsea and Roman Abramovich make amazing gesture to NHS during coronavirus outbreak

Chelsea have announced it has made the Millennium Hotel at Stamford Bridge available to accommodate NHS staff during the coronavirus outbreak. The Blues released in a statement that the hotel will be available for an initial two-month period, while the costs are set to be covered by Blues owner Roman Abramovich. The statement from Chelsea read: “Many of the medical staff will be working long shifts and may not be able to travel home or would otherwise have to make long commutes. "Local accommodation helps maintain the health and well-being of this crucial personnel at this critical time. This will be for two months and then reconsidered in light of circumstances at the time. NHS staff will be those working in hospitals in the North-West London region, but that may extend to hospitals in other districts. “The number of rooms utilised will depend on demand but potentially all the rooms in the Millennium Hotel could be given over for this purpose. No staff showing symptoms will use the hotel. Millennium Hotels and Resorts, who manage the hotel, are supportive and assisting the club in providing this service to the NHS.” Source: Football.london
